The Student Assistance Program (SAP) is a confidential, school-based support program designed to help students overcome barriers that may be affecting their academic success, attendance, behavior, or overall well-being. Challenges may include stress, anxiety, family concerns, peer relationships, substance use, or other social, emotional, or behavioral issues that interfere with learning.

The school's multidisciplinary SAP team includes trained school staff and a Prevention Network specialist. The team works collaboratively with students and families to identify concerns, build resiliency, provide school-based supports when appropriate, and connect families with community resources when additional services are needed.

Students may be referred to SAP by a parent/guardian, school staff member, administrator, another student, or through self-referral. Parents and guardians are encouraged to contact the school if they have concerns about their child's well-being or school success.

Participation in SAP is voluntary. Parent/guardian consent is required before a student participates in SAP screening or services provided through the Prevention Network. While the school does not provide ongoing therapeutic or psychiatric treatment through SAP, the team helps families access appropriate community resources and supports.

Student safety is always the highest priority. School employees are required by law to report suspected child abuse or other situations in which a student may be at risk of harm. Confidentiality may be limited when there is concern for the safety of the student or others.
